BT Americas listed as ISP and I keep getting redirected to US stores.

As per title.  This is getting bloody infuriating now, why the hell am I getting this when I pay Plusnet, a UK company, for my internet connection? How the hell do I stop this?  I've tried re-booting the router in the hope that it gives me a new IP address but so far it hasn't changed.  And before anyone chimes in with "pay for a static IP address", I don't want a static IP address.

As has been said many times there's no point in getting hot under the collar with Plusnet, The world is running out of IPv4 addresses, Plusnet are obtaining and registering the transfer of batches from the USA to UK, some of the many DNS servers are not being promptly updated. The choices are listed in this post https://community.plus.net/t5/Everything-else/Safari-thinks-I-m-in-the-USA/m-p/1551659#M19599

@Azagoth, we think we've fixed the problem for you. Can you retest and let us know how it goes? I've asked our Mods to unlock this thread.
